How to Make Low Cal Indian Yogurt And Spinach Salad

  1. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and fry until they begin to pop and crackle (about 30 seconds).
  3. Add 1-2 finely chopped green chilies (adjust to your spice preference). Stir-fry for 15 seconds.
  4. Add 2 cups of boiled and chopped spinach. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until the spinach wilts and the oil begins to separate.
  5. Remove from heat and let the spinach mixture cool completely to room temperature.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of plain yogurt, 1 teaspoon of garlic paste, and ½ teaspoon of salt (or to taste).
  7. Gently fold the cooled spinach mixture into the yogurt.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with fresh cilantro (optional). Serve immediately or chill for later.
